About the Author

Olivier Clément (1921-2009) was one of the foremost Orthodox theologians of the 20th century. He taught at the Institute of St. Sergius at Paris and was a member of the Ecumenical Institute founded by L’Institut Catholique. His many works, published in various languages, cover a wide range of subjects. Other works by New City Press include On Human Being, and You Are Peter.

Editorial Reviews

"The Roman Catholic church and Orthodoxy have been separated for nearly a thousand years. And yet, as Clément so elegantly demonstrates, we have the same communion of faith and sacraments."
